Had a wonderful time today with our friends @larry Had a wonderful time today with our friends @larrywendyk at an outdoor winery venue. We are so impressed that businesses like this are going the distance in keeping their patrons safe yet allowing enjoyment. We wear our masks until we arrive at our table. And, while we prefer our wine and brew served in glass, we totally understand the necessity of disposable serve ware. We love that the tables were spaced and sanitized before seating. We got to sit in the warm sunshine while socializing. 🍷🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺 These are the venues we prefer amidst the pandemic. In fact, we talked about this in our most recent YouTube video (link in profile).🍷🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺So, if you’re wanting to go out, there are ways to still enjoy your summer safely. Check out our video to see how. Great social distancing entertainment tips.
Today, we met up with our friends Larry and Wendy Today, we met up with our friends Larry and Wendy whom we met a couple years ago at the RV Nomadfest. We are spending a few days camping with them and catching up on the past two years. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 And then, much to our surprise Corey and Jessie @findingoursomeday were staying at the same campground and stopped over to meet and chat. What’s ironic is Corey and Jessie are from the next town over from where we lived in Maine many years ago. It’s funny how the wonderful peeps we meet on the road somehow have a cool connection. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Our final pricey upgrade to our Mini Moho! Our Big Our final pricey upgrade to our Mini Moho! Our Bigfoot leveling system should minimize our need to level with those lego blocks. We won’t have to step out of our motorhome. 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶 We chose Quadra Manufacturing Bigfoot levelers for several reasons: * Cost * Simplicity * Reputation * Made in U.S.A. * Family Owned 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶 We now are getting accustomed to our Bigfoot leveling system in conjunction with our Levelmate Pro for accuracy. Nothing’s worse than having our peas roll off our plates like when we were on ships. Also, our refrigerator door and drawers slamming open or closed. But the big issue of not being level is sleeping on a slope. It sucks having the blood rush to your head due to not being level. 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶 So, this should fix all that. It’s taking a little getting used to but we are excited about this worthwhile investment! 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶 Next smaller upgrade is installing our @rv_snappad set! 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶 YouTube video in the making so stay tuned!
One of the suckiest part of full-time RVing is pac One of the suckiest part of full-time RVing is packing our kitties up, locking up our valuables and moving out of our RV...even if it’s just for a few hours for an install or maintenance. 🤪👀🤪👀 🤪👀🤪 It’s freaking stressful for all four of us. Perhaps it’s easier to do with dogs because they are more mobile and take them for walks, etc. But kitties, eeeeesh! Especially when one is neurotic and a total pain in the a$$ when her world changes. No amount of CBD oil helps. LOL Food? Water? Treats? Nope! Because they’re cats and that’s what cats do. Because they always want what we don’t have or go where they don’t want to go. LOL 🤪👀🤪👀 So here we sit in a waiting room smaller than the inside of our Mini Moho. Luckily we are by ourselves but if another customer comes in with a dog, “we” will need copious amounts of ‘something’. But, for now, we hear two cats crying, bitching and whining. 🤪👀🤪👀 Asking for a friend, “can you take your cat to a bar?” 🍺🍷🍸🥃🍹
“Returning home again is like visiting with an e “Returning home again is like visiting with an eccentric and trusted old friend.” 🌊⚓️⛵️🏖 I (Lisa) grew up on Lake Erie also known as “Dreary Erie, Mistake on the Lake”. As a small child, my family owned a cottage right on the lake but it ended up getting sold for reasons I’ll never knew. Later as a teen, I rode my bicycle five miles from my family’s home down to Freeport beach in the summer to hang out with my friends; laying out in the hot sun and playing beach volleyball. It was my escape place. The lake life helped make me forget the troubles I faced at home, for a few hours at least. 🐟🏄🏻‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚣‍♀️⛱ In the winter though, that lake was brutal and bitter cold that went right through us. Lake affect snow fell in feet, not inches. The frequent snowstorms plagued my hometown located dead center between Cleveland and Buffalo. The lake froze solid with ice jams and didn’t thaw until Memorial Day. The beach in the Spring was a mess with storm debris. ❄️🌨💨🌊 Everyday, I could see the lake from the middle of my street looking due north. On the warm summer days, it was a vivid tropical blue like in this photo but in the winter, it was a choppy gray and an ugly dirty white. 🐟🏄🏻‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚣‍♀️⛱ I had a love-hate relationship with that lake just like the weather. What’s ironic though is five years after graduating high school, I returned for a year. Dan and I had orders to different Coast Guard Stations 60 miles apart. On that same lake that I so enjoyed in the summer became my workplace. I helped rescue many souls while serving on those white boats with the large red and thin blue stripe down their hulls. But it was short-lived as Uncle Sam needed us in a different part of the Country. ⚓️🛳🚁⚓️🛳🚁 And so here I am again but not as a resident or boat crewman but as a wandering tourist. 🐟🏄🏻‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚣‍♀️⛱ It’s been said that when you live somewhere, you take for granted that place. We kind of skip over the great and interesting things there. But now, looking through a different set of eyes as a tourist, it’s different. I notice things that have been there all along but now, are much more interesting. 🐟🏄🏻‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚣‍♀️⛱ #rootlessliving #nothomeanymore

Look Ma! No masks!! 😷😷😷😷😷😷 What Look Ma! No masks!! 😷😷😷😷😷😷 What better way to tour Gettysburg National Battlefield than this?? No mask required! And no worry of germs and social distancing! 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Though it took a bit more from our wallet, we could think of no better way to tour and learn about those 3 July days in 1863! We signed up for @segtours Battlefield Tour and had our own Battlefield Guide so we had a little more instruction and perspective. We chose both, the East and West Battlefield tours. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 The weather was outstanding and the SegTours staff did an outstanding job sanitizing everything before handing us our battle horses, helmets and ear pieces. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 So instead of cramming yourselves on a tour bus and wearing masks, do this instead!! It’s much more fulfilling and you get a much better perspective of how this battle took so many lives. There is an age and health requirement though so check it out if first. 🌳😷🌳😷🌳😷🌳😷 So, if you’re in a tourism location or city that offers Segway tours, do it!!! It’s fun!! @nationalparkservice
